Surf haven stay

Nice little rental that sleeps 4 comfortably. Close to great ocean views and a awesome beach for surfing. Kitchen supplies were in good shape and well supplied. My only complaint would be about the box fan that was supplied but needed a deep clean.

Good Value, Nice Location

We enjoyed being a short walk to the beach and not staying in a crowded area. The neighborhood is quiet, and the beds were comfortable. Kitchen is only stocked with the basics, so if you are fishing, be sure to bring your foil, baggies, etc.

Weather forced cancellation

Star rating above is not accurate - we dont know what the lodging is like as we did not see it in person . Treacherous weather and road conditions forced us to cancel our trip - host charged for both nights regardless.

A bit shaky at best.

We were given the wrong code and wrong room number to start with. The place looked fairly clean at first look until we went to put our things on the shelves in the bathroom. Had to wipe down the shelves prior to placing our things. We were thrilled to be able to have our pup allowed to be with us. He ended up rolling his ball under the beds and that was the scary part. You do not want to know what we found under the beds! This place is a great location . Just a couple of blocks from a beautiful beach! Great potential just needs a very thorough cleaning.

Rustic

The property was in a rustic location but within walking distance to the beach and a few amenities. The cabin is older and could use a lot of repair eventually. Outside is not well maintained. All the lawn furniture was broken and unusable.

Quant and quite

We stayed in unit A, over all it was perfect and just what we were looking for. Super easy to find, A easy 5 minute walk to one of the cleanest beaches, where you can walk for miles. A easy 8 minute drive too depoe bay. Clean and simple with a semi private yard area (shared between the other units) with a fire pit. My only complaint would be the amount of spiders that were in the unit. Outside on the building its self could definitely use a little cobweb clean up and pest control. Communication between renter was excellent. Definitely would recommend and will definitely be staying here for our future trips.

Very Accommodating

My in-laws are in their 80's and wanted to do a trip to the Coast- Daniel was so responsive and wonderful with them. They had a great time- said the place had everything you could need for a stay- great location. My husband and I are looking forward to going ourselves.

Great location

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Surf Haven. It is a cute little place that perfectly met our needs for our 2-night stay. We loved being within walking distance of two beaches and just down the road from Newport. Because we didn't see an A unit or B unit when we arrived (based on the direction we arrived from), we were a bit confused about which door to use but the owners were very responsive and helped straighten us out right away. Great stay!

GREAT LOCATION!

If you're looking for a reasonably priced, clean, comfortable stay close to but not right on the beach, this is it. Easy walking distance to paths & stairs leading to various beaches. Surfers, swimmers, dabblers, & those who just want a quiet place to get away from city life, this is it. The one thing - no outdoor chairs to lounge in, so bring you own.

Good location surf shack

Location is great. Very short walk to Devil’s Punch Bowl. I’d walk there in the morning before many people arrive. Nothing fancy, but has necessary amenities. It’s a typical beach house vibe ( sagging floors, etc), but well maintained and clean. The building may have surf shack charm, but it still feels cozy and clean. Couple minor things broken and the owner was quick to respond. Wish there was more seating than just the couch by tv for a family movie night, but it’s small, so I get it. We’d definitely return again!

Thanksgiving Tradition

Since our daughter moved to Oregon for college we have had a standing tradition of coming to the Oregon coast for Thanksgiving so we can all be together. This Surf Haven location was perfect. Near beaches, attractions, and amenities. Plenty spacious and we'll layed out for the four of us and the owners accommodate dogs of any size which is just what our family needs. Will keep this property on the list for future years!

Comfortable retreat close to the beach

Clean and cozy property provided everything we needed for an enjoyable weekend retreat with my sister-in-law. The walk to the beach was only a few blocks to see great views and 100 steps down to the sand. Seventy surfers were out in the water the day we visited, but the beach did not seem crowded as we beachcombed and discovered a small waterfall downbeach. Went back again later that night and had a campfire with s'mores. We had a great time and would stay again.

Great location

We had so much fun during our stay here and being able to walk everywhere helped a lot as the otter rock parking lots fill up quickly! Check-in and communication with owners was amazing. I’d forgotten to RSVP for my dog and they allowed for that last minute accommodation. We loved being able to cook and do laundry during our kids’ naptime. It is a duplex so you might hear your neighbors a little but it wasn’t bad.

False advertising

This listing originally had two bathrooms listed, which it only had one. VRBO told us that we had to take it up with the host who is not returning our request to call us so we can resolve it. If you have an issue here I would expect you to have a similar experience with this host and VRBO. Would not recommend booking this property.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Hasselschwert

I have lived in Otter Rock for 17 years and it is my pleasure to share this special place with you.

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood is quiet and friendly. It's a popular surfing destination so the beach may be quite busy but most of the cars drive away at dinner time.

What makes this property unique

Surf Haven is pet friendly with a yard that is perfect for tossing the ball. It is a warm, sunny property when we are graced with blue skies. and we are walking distance to the beach access (both the sandy beach/surf spot to the south as well as to some wonderful tide pools at the beach to the north).
